Next, Click the ‘Store’ dropdown menu to select the Store to which this Store View will be associated. The Code and Sort order fields work like those for Websites.

Set the ‘Status’ field to ‘enabled’ and click the ‘Save Store View’ button to activate the Store View.

For a Store View to be visible on the front-end, it must be enabled. You can remove it from the front-end without deleting it by selecting Disabled.

You can set unique Locales for each Store View. Simply navigate to System > Configuration, and select the General tab from the left column.
